In Paradise Lost, John Milton writes an epic that tells the ever captivating tale of good versus evil from where he believes is the beginning, the Garden of Eden. To do this however, Milton first lays out what had transpired before God’s creation of the Earth or of Adam and Eve to the fall of Satan and the angles who chose to follow him. In this Milton presents the idea that evil had been present before the creation of the world in Satan and by his fallen followers. The parallel of the evil in…

In their prelapsarian state, Adam and Eve were set to reap “immortal fruits of joy and love” (III.67) but after eating of the forbidden fruit they realize that this will no longer be the case. Adam bemoans how they “might have lived and joyed immortal bliss/Yet willing chose rather death,” (IX.1166-1167) and this fact is quickly confirmed by Jesus. Jesus judges Adam and tells him he will “return unto the ground for thou/Out of the ground wast taken. Know thy birth,/For dust thou art and shalt…

each character’s allegorical role. One of the most prominent and important characters within the Genesis creation story, the Serpent, or Satan, tempts Eve into eating from the Tree of Knowledge, which results in the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. Baglioni fills a similar role in “Rappaccini’s Daughter” as a tempter. When Baglioni is…

In Paradise Lost Book 9 Milton deliberately imposes his own views on women to his readers with his own portrayal of Eve. Milton 's poem extols that Eve 's positive traits are her beauty, submissiveness, her softness, sweetness and her so called inadequacy to man (Adam). Yet when Eve sets out to be more independent, seek out her own knowledgeable, and become more than just a part of a pair she brings about the fall of man. All of this comes from Milton; he simply follows the thought of his…

“fruits and flowers...gladlier [growing]” (8. 44-47) Adam and Eve love this aspect of creation as they enjoy so much vegetation they do not know how to put it all to good use. Ironically, this was one of the biggest problems Eve and Adam faced in the Garden of Eden. After the Fall, however, they must suffer through eating from the now barren land, as God curses the vegetation (10. 201). The activities they once found joyful, like eating and gardening, become a reminder of their sins against…

1. If you look at Genesis 3:1 the serpent states “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden?” It appears the serpent is questioning and contradicting God’s directions. In addition the serpent’s fallowing statement is perceived as God holding out on Adam and Eve. In Genesis 3:1 the serpent claims “God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, Knowing good and evil.” This gives Eve the impression that having her eyes open to good…

himself. God planted a beautiful garden, the Garden of Eden. It had beautiful trees with all kinds of amazing delicious fruits, everything a person would ever desire to eat. Growing in the middle of the garden was the "tree of life" and the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil." Then, the Lord God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden to work in it and take care of it. God also told Adam not to eat of the trees in the middle of the Garden. Adam grew lonely in the garden with no helpmate. So, God…

What the Hell (A Critique of Milton’s Theology) C. S. Lewis wrote, "Every poem can be considered in two ways — as what the poet has to say, and as a thing which he makes.” Poetry is often a thing humanity puts on a pedestal, something to awe and revere. We wish to interpret and pick apart every line, every stanza, every couplet until we know the entirety of the piece. Epic poems are particularly picked apart by critics time and time again. By far the most criticized epic poem is Milton’s…
